DONALD TRUMP ENDORSES END TO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WITH STOPGAP SPENDING BILL WITHOUT WALL FUNDING

newsweek

President Donald Trump announced Friday that on the 35th day of the partial government shutdown, he will support a three-week continuing resolution (CR) to reopen the shuttered portions of the government through February 15.
It will not provide money for his southern border wall, but it will provide federal employees with backpay. The temporary spending solution will allow lawmakers time to negotiate a long-term border security plan that the president will support, in addition to providing federal workers and agencies with funding. 
The president warned that if a deal is not struck during the three-week funding stretch, he is prepared to shut down the government for a second time.
